" The final grand strategy that won the war was sanctioned by Lincoln when others doubted it: have Grant hold Lee down; let Sherman run wild to the rear; and blockade the ports of the South while cutting the Confederacy off from the West. "
And I had this bitchhin' beard.

"It has been said the Civil War was unnecessary and the South would have reunited with the north eventually."
We're still waiting...

GREATEST General of the war. One of my heroes since childhood:
It sickens me that some of those who rightfully condemn the pendejos who are flying the Mexican flag over the American flag, would actually fly the flag of the confederacy over the Stars and Stripes (see the South Carolina state house controversy a few years back).

LOL!! Oh my goodness. Vic comments on non-Greek history again
I wrote about William Tecumseh Sherman, who, in this weird rightwing view, was a "terrorist" and nothing more.
No Vic, he was much more. He was a war criminal, a leader of thugs, an arsonist, and a racist. Need we go on? I do wish Vic would stick to something he believes he knows something about. Spartan and Greek history

"Camelot hacks"! What a descriptive phrase for the dolts who are too dumb to understand that John Kennedy was, at best, a mediocre President.

"My only belief is that Western liberalism will prove stronger than 8th-century primordialism, but not if we in the West don't believe in our own values."
Pretty much nails it...
They sure as hell believe in theirs.

The sainted martyr Lincoln saved the South from it's own supremicist stupidity.
